A demining robot is a robotic land vehicle that is designed for detecting the exact location of land mines and clearing them. Demining by conventional methods can be costly and dangerous for people. Environments that are dull or dirty, or otherwise dangerous to humans, may be well-suited for the use of demining robots.
